Overall Satisfaction with ProductVision

As formulation software goes I think Product Vision is one of the best options. It can be customized with modules that make it useful for both laboratory development and manufacturing uses. My own experience is mostly with formulation in support of new product development, but PV integrates easily with production planning to bring new products to market.

Pros

  • Raw material management
  • Formula versioning
  • formula comparison

Cons

  • A more intuitive interface would be helpful
  • Easier formula copying for new prototypes
  • More area for version descriptions
  • The ease of developing and tracking new prototypes has a positive effect.
  • Raw material pricing helps optimize raw material costs for new formulas.
  • Couples with ERP it is easy to realize cost savings for new formulas i.e $250 K per year for version 2 vs. version 1.
It makes it possible to move from lab to shop floor fast with accurate formulation tracking and versioning. The ability to cost out prototypes really helps when looing for material cost savings and formula optimization. It provides great theoretical properties to use in designed experiments generated by software such as Minitab.
ProductVision is more powerful and flexible, with the ability to calculate more theoretical properties and better search functions. PV integrates with other software systems better and is more compatible with software such as Excel and Minitab for functions such as statistical analysis and presentation preparation. Much more useful in general than BatchMaster.

Do you think ProductVision delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with ProductVision's feature set?

Yes

Did ProductVision live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of ProductVision go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy ProductVision again?

Yes

PV is great for developing new formulations and moving them to production without exporting to other software. It helps track raw materials for both lab and manufacturing use. Background work is required to add new raw materials to make them available, but it is not overwhelming or difficult, just tedious sometimes.
